Act One Quote

"Too early seen unknown, and known too late!" - Juliet (1.5.139)

This line was spoken after Juliet too found out that Romeo and her were enemies. She spoke it aloud and so the nurse could hear. When Juliet was asked where she heard it, she said she had learned it somewhere. I believe that the line means that she had seen Romeo too soon without knowing who he was and now it is too late becasue she is already in love with him. This is a problem becasue were supposed to be foes. This line is also very important to the story becasue it starts the taboo love between Romeo and Juliet and then later leads to bigger things...
